Are you close to your parents?

It goes back and forth. Sometimes we get along well, though I still don't tell them much personal stuff. When it's bad though, it's really bad. Constantly threatening to kick me out, harassing me, taunting me, punishing me for things I didn't do, or the punishments are vastly disproportionate to the misbehavior. Mostly my mom does this. It doesn't help that she is in major denial about me being transgender (even though I'm now sporting sideburns and a goatee, and have been read as male 100% even over the phone for about 10 months now). My dad is better, but he has to be quiet about it (quiet enough that he doesn't say anything to me, but I sometimes hear things from other people), and so we don't have much of a relationship at all.

This is kind of why I'm trying to figure out if I'm an aspie; maybe it would help my parents to understand me more, and then I could stop worrying about where I'm going to live every other week But I also fear that if I do turn out to be an aspie, that my mom will just write it off as she does everything else.

I was, when I was a little kid.\
As I grow I got more and more distant.

It really makes me jealous to see kids my age really close to their mother.
I never hugged my mother ever since a really long time ago.

Kinda make me sad though

Pretty indifferent. My father's nice, but we don't talk a lot. I really have an entirely functional relationship with my mother. And I haven't spoken to my brother in months. (Unless you count "Turn down that racket!" as conversation)

I don't really know any of my extended family, as we only see them a few times a year. I don't have any problems with the situation, it works for me.

I'm close to the both of them.

I guess I'm pretty close with both of my parents, but in different ways.

With my mom, she treats me like a kid, but she's the best person to talk to if I have a problem, or if I'm trying to figure something out.

My dad is more like a friend, he coaches my soccer team, takes me on vacations etc.
